On a Dare, Arkansas Officer Joins High School Drumline at Football Game

Corporal Les Munn of the Texarkana (AR) Police Department is not one to shy away from a challenge. So when a high school student lugging her drums up the bleachers laid down the gauntlet that the officer help the band perform, he accepted the dare.

"I was nervous—it had been a long time since I'd played, so I didn't want to let them down," Munn told Inside Edition.

"I think I've seen more big eyes and big smiles than I've seen from a lot of people in a long time," Munn said. "It was a lot of fun to do. The kids got a kick out of it because they're not used to seeing someone in uniform come up there being that light. So it kind of took the uniform off for a second and let everybody know, hey, we're just people too."

Munn has already been asked to perform with the band again next season.

Trooper Nic Cederberg with the Oregon State Police was awarded a National Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor on Wednesday during a White House ceremony hosted by President Donald Trump. The award is the highest national award for valor a public safety officer can receive.

The Torrington (CT) Police Department said on Facebook that a man wanted on warrants for failing to appear in court on charges that range from breach of peace to risk of injury to a child has made a deal with the agency if his wanted poster on Facebook gets 15,000 "likes."
